See, it even has the line down the middle of its chest! Hm, I wonder who made this? Merchandise for Ambassador Atom doesn't seem like it'd be all that common... unless this is a commemorative piece? It's pretty neat, though, all the same; aside from the weirdness of his footwear, it is a very nice l...

Oh, it was the third one I saw a part of on TV... (although I may have seen parts of the second one on TV at a later time; idk...)
